you know runes are terribly designed

when not even a champion who wants to opt into a specific path can take any rune of that path, but half of them are literally impossible to proc.

edit.: since people dont really understand what im talking about.

is one of the champions who is expected to opt into resolve. yet there is only a single available keystone for him in that path. in the first row there is only a single available rune for him with demolish since hes incapable of proccing the other two.

and many other tanks and fighters are entirely incapable of triggering shield bash on their own.

is expected to opt into sorcery, yet celerity is entirely inaccessable to her aswell as most other spell casters without an inbuilt movement speed bonus available.

a lot of the rune pathes simply lack options in certain rows, even for the champions who are expected to opt into them.

this goes even for runes like manaflow band. every caster who uses mana (most mages) is balanced around the fact that manaflow band exists. meanwhile every caster that doesnt use mana is incapable of accessing the rune and only has 2 rune choices in that row as a result.

an example for a good rune is transcendence, which is accessible to every single champion in the game, and worth the same for every single spellcasting champion. be it a mage, fighter, assassin, enchanter or tank.

now imagine every rune was designed like transcendence. this would mean any champion who wants to empower his spells has options to chose from in that row from game to game, instead of being locked into specific choices depending on the champion youre playing.
